Maybe, but not Bertuzzi, especially at his pay grade.
Martinook is all around better this season than in the past, and faster. He has good line mates but he brings it every game and fully carries his weight on that line. He’s been healthy which makes a difference. If you just look at that line there is nothing to fix there. We don’t need to make any move to make the Staal line better and any move we might try has at least as much downside risk as upside.
And, have you seen Tyler Bertuzi? Dude fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Sounds like Quick might not report to Columbus and is not happy with the trade. Good value for the Kings to add Gavrikov and Korpisalo essentially for a first round pick and not much else!
Holland got the better player, especially for their current short term needs, but holy crap he has yet to meet an old guy on an expensive contract that he wouldn't go get.

I'm not sure the rules on that Habsy. I expect some pundit will fill us all in shortly.
And Bertuzzi is one of them? Because, no he's not ... not based on what he's actually doing this season. My comparison in based SOLELY on what the two players are doing in the present season. The one in which we currently live.

Columbus supposedly is seeing if any contending team would be willing to take Quick off their hands (I assume with rentention and for nothing in return). Given how bad Quick has been this season, it's hard to see any contender wanting him.
Once he settles down from the shock of being traded by the Kings, hopefully Quick will just report to Columbus. If not, then I believe Columbus can suspend him for breach of contract (and not pay him the remainder of his $2.5 million this season) or they could just work out a contract termination and he can stay home and ponder retirement.

Yeah, all that got talked over when Vegas was trading Fleury and it wasn't certain he would report. I'm pretty sure the consensus ended up being that a player refusing to report would simply be suspended without pay for breach, which would trigger a termination settlement.
Otherwise, I could maybe see a contender taking him on as a backup if the cash was right, but they'd have to have room for the Cap hit ... which I don't think can get whittled down to less than $1.45 million ... provided Columbus retained half and found a 3rd party to retain half of the remainder. That's a LOT of trouble for a guy who has been bad all year and is 37 years old. If Quick wants to play beyond this year, then it would best if he just swallowed his pride and reported to Columbus. It's not like they're asking him to do anything horrible ... just go and play out the last month of the year and then move on. Pretend it's a long road trip.

No brainer for them to move Eller. He's lost a step to the point of being only borderline effective, has been effectively replaced by Strome and there's no way they were going to re-sign him. May as well get what you can.

Several guys on XM kept saying the ask for Chychrun was just too high. Someone said something along the lines of "he's just not that good".
